1 GENERAL INFORMATION
The Phantom PS2000 is a revolutionary Commercial Grade remote control
ITU-R Class D Marine VHF transceiver. The design allows the transceiver to be
mounted in a protected area on vessels that may not have space to mount a full
size VHF.
The Phantom PS2000 is capable of using up to 2 enhanced full function RAM+
type microphones or VH-310 Handsets which are supplied seperately.
When the optional RAM+ type microphone(s) are connected, the Phantom
PS2000 allows full control of all VHF functions, Digital Selective calling including DSC Distress, All ship calls, and Position polling with in/output to a Standard
Horizon GPS chart plotter. In addition when the optional RAM+ microphone(s)
or VH-310 Handsets are connected the 30Watt PA/Fog signalling and bells and
whistles may be activated.

4 SAFETY / WARNING INFORMATION
This radio is restricted to occupational use, work related operations only where
the radio operator must have the knowledge to control the exposure conditions
of its passengers and bystanders by maintaining the minimum separation distance of 0.6 m (2 feet).
Failure to observe these restrictions will result in exceeding the FCC RF exposure limits.
Antenna Installation:
The antenna must be located at least 0.6 m (2 feet) away from passengers in
order to comply with the FCC RF exposure requirements.

5 FCC RADIO LICENSE INFORMATION
STANDARD HORIZON Marine Divison of Vertex Standard radios comply with
the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) requirements that regulate the
Maritime Radio Service.
STATION LICENSE
An FCC ship station license is no longer required for any vessel traveling in
U.S. waters (except Hawaii) which is under 20 meters in length. However, any
vessel required to carry a marine radio on an international voyage, carrying a
HF single side band radiotelephone or marine satellite terminal is required to
have a ship station license. FCC license forms, including applications for ship
(506) and land station licenses can be downloaded via the Internet at
www.fcc.gov/forms. To obtain a form from the FCC, call (888) 225-5322.

6 FCC NOTICE
NOTICE
Unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment may void compliance with FCC Rules. Any change or modification must be approved
in writing by STANDARD HORIZON Marine Division of Vertex Standard.
NOTICE
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try
to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

7 GETTING STARTED
7.1 ABOUT VHF RADIO
The radio frequencies used in the VHF marine band lie between 156 and 158
MHz with some shore stations available between 161 and 163 MHz. The marine VHF band provides communications over distances that are essentially
“line of sight” (VHF signals do not travel well through objects such as buildings,
hills or trees). Actual transmission range depends much more on antenna type,
gain and height than on the power output of the transmitter. On a fixed mount
25W radio transmission expected distances can be greater than 15 miles.
7.2 SELECTING AN ANTENNA
Marine antennas are made to radiate signals equally in all horizontal directions,
but not straight up. The objective of a marine antenna is to enhance the signal
toward the horizon. The degree to which this is accomplished is called the
antenna’s gain. It is measured in decibels (dB) and is one of the major factors
in choosing an antenna. In terms of effective radiated power (ERP), antennas
are rated on the basis of how much gain they have over a theoretical antenna
with zero gain. A 3 foot, 3dB gain antenna represents twice as much gain over
the imaginary antenna.
Typically a 3 foot 3dB gain stainless steel whip is used on a sailboat mast. The
longer 8 foot 6dB fiberglass whip is primarily used on power boats that require
the additional gain.
Phantom PS2000Page 8
7.3 COAXIAL CABLE
VHF antennas are connected to the transceiver by means of a coaxial cable –
a shielded transmission line. Coaxial cable is specified by it’s diameter and
construction.
For runs less than 20 feet, RG-58/U, about 1/4 inch in diameter is a good choice.
For runs over 20 feet but less than 50 feet, the larger RG-8X or RG-213/U
should be used for cable runs over 50 feet RG-8X should be used. For installation of the connector onto the coaxial cable refer to the figure below.
1/16''
3/4''
1 1/8''
Adapter
3/4''
1/8''
5/8''3/8''
To get your coax cable through a fitting and into your boat’s interior, you
may have to cut off the end plug and reattach it later. You can do this if
you follow the directions that come with the connector. Be sure to make
good soldered connections.
Page 9Phantom PS2000
8 INSTALLATION
8.1 LOCATION
The radio can be mounted at any angle. Choose a mounting location that:
• is far enough from any compass to avoid any deviation in compass reading due to the speaker magnet
• allows connection to a power source and an antenna
• It is recommended not to mount the antenna closer than three feet from
the Phantom PS2000.
Note: To insure the radio, RAM+ or VH-310 handset do not affect the compass
or radios performance is not affected by the antenna location, temporarily connect the radio in the desired location and:
a. Examine the compass to see if the radio causes any deviation
b. Connect the antenna and key the radio. Check to ensure the radio is
operating correctly by requesting a radio check.
8.2 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
CAUTION
Reverse polarity connections will damage the radio!
Connect the CMP25 RAM+ microphone or VH-310 Handset, power cord, and
antenna to the radio as shown bellow:

1. Mount the antenna at least 3 feet away from the radio. At the rear of the
radio, connect the antenna cable. It must have a PL259 connector. RG-8/U
coaxial cable must be used if the antenna is 25 feet or more from the radio.
RG58 cable can be used for distances less than 25 feet.
Phantom PS2000Page 10
2. Connect the red power wire to a 13.8 VDC ±20% power source. Connect
the black power wire to a negative ground.
3. If an optional remote extension speaker is to be used, refer to next section
for connections.
4. It is advisable to have a Certified Marine Technician check the power output
and the standing wave ratio of the antenna after installation.
8.3 MICROPHONE INSTALLATION
NOTE
The Phantom PS2000 is capable of connecting 2 RAM+ microphones
(or VH-310 Handset) to control all functions.
1. Connect the RAM+ MIC Cable to the RAM MIC CONNECTOR on the rear
panel of the Phantom PS2000, then tighten the Cable Nut (See Figure 2).
2. Referring to Figure 3, make a 1.2” (30 mm) hole in the wall, then insert the
RAM+ MIC Cable into this hole. Connect the Gasket and Mount Base to the
RAM+ MIC Cable Connector using the Nut.
3. Drill the four Screw holes (approx. 2 mm) on the wall, then install the Mounting
Base to the wall using four screws.
4. Connect the CMP25 RAM+ Microphone or VH-310 Handset to the RAM+
MIC Cable Connector. The installation is now complete.
5. Wires for a external speaker are provided on the RAM+ mic cable. Connect
the STANDARD HORIZON MLS-300 or MLS-310 speaker or any 8 Ohm
external speaker. When connected the RAM+ controls the volume level of
this speaker.

2. Use the template to mark the location where the rectangular hole is to be
cut. Confirm the space behind the dash or panel is deep enough to accommodate the transceiver (at least 15 cm deep).
There should be at least 1 cm between the transceiver’s heatsink and any
wiring, cables or structures.
3. Cut out the rectangular hole and insert the transceiver.
4. Fasten the brackets to the sides of the transceiver with the lock washer nut
combination; so that the mounting screw base faces the mounting surface
(see Figure 4).
5. Turn the adjusting screw to adjust the tension so that the transceiver is tight
against the mounting surface.
